Microsoft 365 apps to end Internet Explorer support next year:

Internet Explorer's days have been numbered since Microsoft launched its Edge browser five years ago. Microsoft appears to be another step toward closer to retiring the web browser with the announcement its Microsoft 365 apps suite will end support for Internet Explorer 11 on Aug. 17, 2021, the company said Monday.

Users of Microsoft's Teams chat and collaboration service will lose IE 11 support a bit earlier, on Nov. 30, Microsoft said in a blog post. Microsoft also said it would end support for the Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop app on March 9, 2021.

    Microsoft should absolutely NOT be allowed to discontinue IE support for it's applications.

    Since Microsoft thought it okay to inflict IE upon the world for monopolistic reasons, making it the bane of web developers everywhere, Microsoft should have to live with IE 6 forever.

    Even if IE 6 is no longer used by anyone, a Microsoft funded, government testing lab should be created that ensures all Microsoft applications work with IE 6. Incompatibility or compliance failure should result in immediate shutdown of those Microsoft apps until Microsoft fixes the issues and passes all tests against IE 6.

    And yes, there is a web browser in hell. And the biggest walmart you ever saw.
